OUR CHAT
Matt and I discussed his favorite roles, how colleges are missing the mark in terms of preparing kids for job search and career success, and how this gap might get closed. He shared his observations on mistakes he sees kids making on the job search front, and shared advice he wishes he’d have heard himself when he was first starting out!
